Policy documents
The set of policy documents is composed of the Policy document and several policy settings documents. A policy is a document that identifies a collection of individual policy settings documents. Each of these policy settings documents defines a set of defaults that apply to the users and groups to which the policy is assigned. Once a policy is in place, you can easily change a setting, and it will automatically apply to those users to whom the policy is assigned.
The five policy settings documents cover these administrative areas:
Registration
-- If a policy including registration policy settings is in place before you register Notes users, these settings set default user registration values including user password, Internet address format, roaming user designation, and mail.
Setup
-- If a policy including setup policy settings is in place before you set up a new Notes client, these settings are used during the initial Notes client setup to populate the user's Location document. Setup settings include Internet browser and proxy settings, applet security settings, and desktop and user preferences.
Desktop
-- Use desktop policy settings control and update the user's desktop environment or to reinforce setup policy settings. For example, if a change is made to any of the policy settings, the next time users authenticate with their home server, the desktop policy settings restore the default settings or distribute new settings specified in the desktop policy settings document.
Mail archiving
--Use archive policy settings to control mail archiving. Archive settings control where archiving is performed and specify archive criteria.
Security
-- Use security settings to set up administration ECLs and define password-management options, including the synchronization of Internet and Notes passwords.
